St Mary's, Nettlecombe

Welcome we are a small friendly church in the Quantock Towers Benefice. We hold regular services and have events, details of which you will find on the following pages and additional local information can be found on https://www.nettlecombewestsomerset.life/

We are fortunate to have organists (many amateurs) so we enjoy singing in the services and although we can be smallish in number we try our best! Our organ is a very good instrument and was totally renovated about 20 years ago and is regularly maintained - we are open anyone who can play  to come and join us! We also have a grand piano and at harvest and Easter we usuall invite the West Somerset Brass Band. 

We welcome anyone to our services although at present we tend to be older adults, we do keep a childrens area which is well used in special services and weddings. We have a hearing loop and a ramp access to the church but we plan to improve disabled access with our planned reording of the West end of the church to make easier access and more flexible useage.

The church is well supported by the parish community. We are not in a village as the previous owners of Nettlecombe Court felt buildings spoilt the view! Our fete is held otside the church on the Court green and is well supported. Flower arrangers and cleaners make sure our church looks inviting and cared for. We try to hold a concert each year to bring music to the area and encourage local talent.

The church history is closely linked to Nettlecombe Court, situated next door, and is now an active Field Studies center. There is a well research guide available in the church, and a childrens trail is available. Many visitors are people who have stayed at the Court when it was a school in the past or came to the Field Study center from school.

The church is usually open for visitors but if you would like to check before you visit please contact us via  the telephone contacts given on this site to ensure there is no event taking place.
